Easy Digital Downloads Auto Register 1.4.5
Description
Easy Digital Downloads Auto Register is a WordPress plugin built for Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) checkout flows. It creates a WordPress user account automatically when a customer completes a purchase, so shoppers don’t need to fill out an extra registration step. By reducing checkout friction, it helps customers get to the download content faster with instant access.
The plugin uses the customer’s email as the WordPress username, generates a random password, then sends a post-purchase email containing login credentials and auto-logs the customer into the site. For developers, it also provides filters to customize email behavior, user roles, and messaging, while aligning with key EDD settings like guest checkout and login/register form display.
